  • "Location was excellent."

    The house was ideal for our whole family. Furnishings were basic but suited our needs. The back area was not easy to park in but the space in the next street was fine for both our vehicles. We had an excellent holiday.

    Hi Micheal, thank you for your feedback. We are really glad that you had a lovely holiday in Whitby and at Friendship House. We hope to see you again soon. Kindest Regards, Property Owner

    Just right size for large group.Hot tub a bonus but also great location for the town and the beach. The extra car parking spaces were good as the one at the house was quite tight to navigate for a larger car. Recommended.

As was the outside furniture a.d location to shops and ⛱️ We would love to come back and stay again as great time had by all of us.

    Very close to all facilities, This is not a complaint but the radiator in the front bedroom has a pinhole in it which I suspect is causing the boiler to lose pressure.. Overall we had a really good time at Normandy house. Colin

    Hi Colin, thank you for your feed back and bringing to our attention the radiator issue. This has now been rectified by our maintenance chap. We are really glad that you had a lovely stay at Friendship house. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon. Kind Regards, Property Owner

    Fantastic property, great location to the beach and town, we had everything we needed in the property for our stay, plenty of room for a big family, the welcome hamper was a really lovely touch, decor was a little tired in places (paint peeling away from the walls) but it certainly didn’t detract from the property at all

    Hi Karen, Thank you for your lovely feedback. We are glad that you had a great stay at Friendship House.

    The house was in a great location in Whitby, very close to the centre. It was big enough for all of us and very comfortable. Everything we needed was available, very well equipped with lots of extras including a well stocked hamper and 3 parking spaces.

  • "Hi, thank you for a lovely stay at the house last weekend."

    Lovely and warm, great location, very good value for money, bonus that it has 3 parking spaces, hot tub was fantastic - very clean and obviously new. My suggestions for improvement are minor e.g that the knives weren't very sharp and the potato peeler didn't work very well. The only other thing I would suggest is that you update the photos on the website. We were almost put off by the photos because they made it look very basic and we've tended to stay in quite luxurious places in the past. We actually decided on this one because it was cheaper than others. But when we got there we were pleasantly surprised by the place, so I think the photos don't really do it justice. best wishes, Rachel

    Hi Rachel, Thank you for the great review and positive feedback. We really appreciate it. We will be replacing the items mentioned and we will look to update the photographs on Sykes website to better reflect what Friendship house has to offer as soon as we can. We are glad that you really enjoyed you’re stay, and hope to welcome you back again. Kindest regards, Sarah, Tam and Simon. Property Owner

  • "This is a great house in a top spot for exploring Whitby and the surrounding areas."

    It is bright, clean and comfortable with good facilities and equipment to cater for large groups. Only downside was the tiny kitchen sink which made things tricky when trying to clean things too big or not suitable for the dishwasher. Hot tub is clean and well maintained and was a lovely extra to help create a relaxing holiday. Overall, I would recommend this as a very well placed and comfortable accommodation for a large party.

    Hi Jane, Thank you for your fantastic review. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay and we really hope you visit again. The kitchen fitters are in this week, to replace the sink in order to improve our facilities. We are glad that you enjoyed your time in Whitby and our house. Many Thanks Tamanie, Sarah and Simon.

  • "The property was adequate for a week away, the kitchen was the biggest disappointment, the dishwasher hadn’t been emptied and was full of pots that had not cleaned, we removed the filter and I have a picture that I can share if requested it was covered in slime which explained why the pots were unclean."

    The sink was far to small, especially when faced with the dishwasher full of pots that needed a thorough clean. The mattresses were not the most uncomfortable we have used but far from the best. The hot tub appeared clean when we arrived and there was the floating device with the chlorine tablets but there was also a loose tablet in the tub. The tub was checked which involved a new chlorine tablet being added but nothing else. Overall considering the money paid was a little disappointed.

    Hi Adele, We are sorry that you did not have the best time at our property. Our cleaning standard is normally 90-100% so we apologise that the dishwasher had not been emptied. The mattresses are medium thickness as it’s the middle ground and it is difficult to judge what each family likes. We will look into them and see if any need replacing. Our email is located in the Welcome pack and if you had brought this to our attention, we could of amended some of the issues immediately, to make your stay more comfortable. We do hope you will stay again. Tamanie, Sarah and Simon Property Owner

    And the hot tub was a nice added extra. We were surprised to find a welcome hamper too which came with some fresh coffee, bottle of Prosecco, tea, biscuits etc. There was plenty of space for our large group and a secure courtyard out the back for the dogs & car too. The parking just round the corner came in useful and was enough for another 2 cars if needed. We had our toddler with us and the property came with a high chair included, along with bowls/plates/cutlery for kids which was a great touch! Close to the beach, town centre and good road links to elsewhere, it was the perfect base for our week long stay - we’ll definitely be back!

The property

Resting near the beach in the coastal town of Whitby is this lovely terraced house, 4 Normanby Terrace.

Sleeping up to 11 guests, with fantastic access to the North York coast and the North York Moors National Park, 4 Normanby Terrace is a superb home-from-home for a large family or group who want to discover North Yorkshire.

You will find an off-road parking spot around the back of the property (with additional parking for 2 extra cars on private land that is situated 150 yards away if required-please see welcome folders) before relishing that coastal breeze as you stretch out on the seating in the front garden.

Head inside to find a bright kitchen/diner, showcasing a large bay window that makes the room light and airy throughout, whilst also being served by ample appliances, to make cooking and dining a breeze!

The sitting room is home to three plush sofas and a wall-mounted TV, come in here with your group and enjoy a relaxing movie night after dinner.

When night falls, climb the stairs to find six inviting bedrooms, the first-floor hosts two spacious doubles that feature stylish grey and white touches, both have TVs for extra evening entertainment, the single bedroom is close by and can be used for either an Adult or child.

Continue upstairs to the second-floor to find two more tastefully furnished doubles, before making your way to a spacious third-floor bedroom that boasts skylight windows that let the light flood in, along with plenty of storage.

When it's time to get ready for the day, choose between three bathrooms and a cloakroom/ WC, the third-floor bedroom benefits from a nearby bathroom, along with another bathroom on the second floor, a shower room on the first floor and a handy cloakroom with laundry facilities on the ground floor.

After a day of exploring come back to the hot tub and soak up with your loved ones or enjoy a refreshing beverage in the sun on the outdoor seating.

Whitby is home to your amenities with a convenience store and pub less than a mile from the dwelling, along with many attractions for you to explore with the family, including: lay on the soft sands of Whitby Beach, before taking a leisurely walk to the town's lighthouses and piers the once-glorious ruins of Whitby Abbey, take the family around the fascinating Captain Cook Memorial Museum, before admiring the sea views from the heights of the Whitby Cliff Lift.

Travel south to the resort town of Scarborough and take the whole family for an exhilarating experience at the Scarborough Sky Trail Adventure or Alpamare UK, before making your way through the beautiful Secret Garden where you can stop for a picnic, or spotting the aquatic wildlife with the kids in SEA LIFE.

Travel into the centre of North York Moors National Park, an outdoor lover's haven, and trek along the Wheeldale Roman Road, a trail taking you through the stunning moorlands, cycle through Sutton Bank and Dalby Forest, or try something different with 'survival style' bushcraft and gliding through the dramatic landscapes with the Yorkshire Gliding Club.

For a day out in a bustling town, visit Middlesbrough where there is plenty to do and see along its River Tees, or walk the Cleveland Way to more towns and fishing villages dotted along Yorkshire's coast, including: Robin Hood’s Bay, Filey and Primrose Valley.

There is so much fun to be had with all the family at 4 Normanby Terrace.
